DR.. Austin Flint in a paper prepared
for the British Medical association,
which he did not live TO deliver before
that body, looks back over half a
entury of medical history, and rom the
past predicts the future. His expecta-
tons include not only continued prog
ress in the sciences all ed to medicine,
and new discoveries of instruments to
aid in diagnosis, but also revival of
bloc I-letting. He never was really
re onciled to the discontinuan e of that
mode of treatment and only yielded it
because he was Obliged so to do in de-
ference TO a very general popular senti-
ment against it, but with the ruling
passion strong in death he has given it
high recommendation in his last paper.

The Great American Deser...

When railroads first touched the Mis-
sissippi River at Burlington-about
1862 or 1853, it must have been-a
great celebration was held on the east
bank, and a commendable glorification
indulged in. The speakers were
Stephen A. Douglas and Lewis Cass.
Mr.. Cass in his speech referred to the
fact that, according to all school his
tories and biographies previous to that
time, they must be very near the great
American Desert, but he said "as this
desert constantly recedes as we APP
preach it, it will probably he found
there is no desert at ALL" Men now
under 30 years of age. when at school
studied Biographies which located the
American Desert lying in the western
half of Iowa, and extending to the
Rocky Mountains. In fact, Des Moines
is situated in the locality of what was
then asserted to be Fart of the great
desert. -Des MoiRes EegiSter.

IT is probable that few persons are
aware of the great and important en-
cheering undertaking in which Russia
has for years been engaged, of drain
ing the vast Pinsk marshes. These
are so immense, in fact, as to secure
special designation on the ordinary
map of Europe, being, it is remarked,
the only case of the kind, their extent
of area being, in fact, very much larg-
er than that of Ireland. Some fifteen
wears ago the Russian Government first
took in hand seriously the reclamation
of this waste expanse, which, owing to
being perpetually more or less sub
merged, and covered with Jungle
growth of forest, cut off most important
geographical communications. Up to
the present time about 1000, 900 acres
have been reclaimed, through the con-
struction of several thousand miles of
bitches and of canals so broad as to be
navigable for barges of several hundred
tons burden, and for the current year
the engineers programme comprises
the drainage of $4,000 acres by means
of the construction of 100 miles of
bitches and canals. In addition to all
the canals and bitches dug there have
been 179 bridges built, and of the
wells bored 152 were from forty to
eighty feet deep, and AIS of from TWEEN
ty to forty feet.

By all accounts the whole face Of
nature can find nothing to compare
with Labrador in the abomination of
desolation. 1t equals the British Isles,
France and Prussia in extent, and its
area of 100000 miles is for the most
part waste. Beyond the coast line,
with its wall of ice in winter, and its
detached forts of ice at the other sea-
sons of the year, lies vast table land,
pre-eminently sterile. "The whole of
the table land" says Prof. Hind, sis
strewed with an infinite number of
powders, sometimes three and four
deep. Language fails to paint the aw-
full desolation of the table land of Lab
rador. Little is known of the interior.
The sense of solitude, Of utter remote
ness from civilization, must be far more
intense in such a region than in the
widest forests or the most extensive
plains of the South. In the latter, at
least, there is teeming life, although
the life is not that of our own species,
and, above all, there are light and
warmth. 1t was fine instinct
of the "uttermost in such eff
fects that led Carlyle to perch
his wanderer, who wanted to turn
his back on civilization, ut the North
Cape. His retreat is indeed disturbed,
but the interior can hardly be said
to belong to the fauna of the region.
Cold and solitude are almost converti-
BILE terms. In winter even spirits
freeze in Labrador. Sudden changes
of temperature would seem to be COM
mon to both coasts of North America
Between Alaska and Lower California
it is said there is every possible variety
of climate under the sun. Here the
contour of the coast and the winds are
the chief causes; in Labrador it is all
the arctic current. That current may
be said to bring its own wind with it,
and when il is laden with icebergs the
wind must be almost q blast of death
The present premature winter is not to
be explained by anything recorded in
the past history of the region. 1t has
come unannounced by science or his
tory, like the eruption in New Zealand
the other day. In one place the earth
has frozen without warning, as in an
other place it has taken fire. The
changes in the north are usually of a
less demonstrative kind. If the whole
interior of Greenland is, as some be-
lieve, but one enormous glacier con-
stantly on the move, at least, to do it
justice, it moves with slow and state
ly step, and not without giving due
notice TO quit to the inhabitants. Only
here and there n rift, disclosing bot
tomless depths, hints quietly ut what
is going on. The change now reported
from the Labrador coast differs from
those common to the region in being
sharp and sudden, where the others are
usually slow.

HydrODh0bia in 1SO6.

1t has recently came to light that the
State of New York, in 1906, paid to
John M. Crous thousand dollars for
a remedy against hydrophobia which
he considered infallible. The measure
was advocated 10y Dewitt Clinton and
Chancellor Kent. This remedy con-
sisted of one ounce of the jaw-bone of q
dog, burned and pulverized; the false
tongue of a newly foaled colt, dried
and pulverized; and "scruple of YER
digris," raised on the surface of old
copper by laying it in the moist earth.
The warrant of the Comptroller on
which the money was paid, and the
receipt of Crous, are on file with other
State papers at Albany.-Dr. Foote's

The young man, when he goes to
call on his lady love, puts on his best
duds, makes his mother or his sisters
fly around and help him to get himself
up In the best form possible. He jaws
them, gets mad, slams things around
regardless of consequences, kicks the
wall because his shoe pinches, and
finally rushes out looking as cross as q
leased terrier. He foregoes drink or
a cigar for fear of their spelling his
breath, and loads his handkerchief with
the perfume best calculated to disguise
and smother the faint of cigarette
smoke. The young lady is expecting
him, of course; has had her hair done
up in papers all day; the afternoon has
been spent in getting ready to receive
him, and when the parlor lights are
burning she looks very angel. Had
he seen her in the morning with q
handkerchief tied around her head,
heard her complaints of Indigestion
and nervous headache, seen her sloven-
ly morning wrappings and caught
few of her tartly expressed views on
the conduct of her mother and the
family in general, he would have been
In quandary as to which region the
angel belonged.
In the parlor all is smiles, tenderly
lisped phrases, melting glances and
protestations against all that is rude or
disagreeable, and in favor of that
which is gentle and long-suffering.
They deceive themselves as well as
each other. Probably they do not
mean it, but they do it. OF course,
the ardent youth who reads this will
say it is not for him. Those who have
had their wings singed in the delusive
blaze are the ones who will read 1T
with deepest interest and appreciate it
most. They can only sigh and wonder
why some one did not say as much to
them, vet there is much satisfaction
even in that sigh. If they are suffi-
GENTLY philosophical to make the best
of it, to keep the bright side out and to
persistently refuse to 60 behind the
scenes, they may get along; but if they
give way to regrets, take to drink, or
finding fault with their mothers-in-law,
their days of happiness are done.
Persons of ardent dispositions, es-
pecially young persons, should be very
careful not to allow themselves to be
carried too fast or too far by what they
consider true love. 1t may pan out
nothing more enduring than infatua-
ton. The sensations are so similar at
first that an expert might be bothered
for while to determine which is
which, but time will tell the tale. Love
remains bright alike through sunshine
and storm, and even times corroding
breath does not dim its luster. On the
other hand, infatuation flashes and
burns with an intense, brilliant glare,
dimming every other light and paling
the glories that have always been re-
garded as respondent. AS months
pass, however, the glare becomes less
intense, and finally the place where the
fire was is marked only by smoldering
embers or unhappy lives.-PittSburgh

SOME of the most beautiful speci-
mems of the popular novelty known as
crackle glass are produced by covering
one side of a piece of plate glass with
n thick stratum of hux or readily
fusible glass; in this condition it is
placed in a muilie, or an open furnace,
where it is strongly heated, and as soon
as the hux is melted and the glass it.
self has become red-hot, it is removed
from the furnace and rapidly cooled.
Under this operation, the fux or fusi-
bic glass cracks and splits, leaving in
Vulnerable fine lines of fracture over
its surface, having much the appear
ance of scales of irregular crystals,
which cross and intersect each other in
every direction. The rapid cooling of
the fusible coating is effected either by
exposing the heated mass to the action
of current of cold air, or by cautious
sprinkling with cold water BY pro-
tecting certain portions of the glass
surface from the action of the fiux,
these portions retain their original
smoothness and polish, and form, of
course, striking contrast to the
cracked portions Of the surface.
